ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH COCONUT CHIVE SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pierce each yam with a fork and lightly coat in oil. Cover in aluminum foil and bake until fork tender, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium sized bowl, mix the sour cream, coconut milk, 3/4 cup of coconut, half of the chives and lime juice. Place mixture in refrigerator and chill until ready to use. When yams are cooked through, set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove foil, and cut each yam in half widthwise. Make 2 incisions at the rounded end of the yam to form an 'x' and spread open. Set the yam on its flat side, and top with a dollop of the coconut chive sour cream. Garnish with the remaining coconut and chives.

CURRIED SWEET POTATOES IN COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1 inch cubes.
• Place the cubes in a colander and sprinkle liberally with salt.
• Let stand 10-15 minutes.
• Steam the potatoes for 10 minutes, until just barely soft. (I do this in the microwave for about 5 minutes).
• Meanwhile, finely chop the onion, ginger and garlic.
• Heat the cooking pan over a moderate flame, add the cumin seed, and cook until they begin to splutter.
• Add the chopped onion, ginger, and garlic.
• Cook until the onion is a rich golden color.
• Add all the spices and season with salt to taste.
• Let this cook while you continue with the sweet potatoes (yes, there's more to do with them).
• Heat the oil and sauté the already steamed sweet potato cubes until golden brown.
• Drain on absorbent paper towels. (I skip this step, just more calories.).
• Pour the coconut milk and water into the pot and bring to a healthy simmer. Let it boil, roil and bubble for a few minutes, then add the yam cubes and onion spice mixture, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes or until nearly dry, but still moist.
• When it's done, transfer to a serving platter. Pick out the bits you don't want (like the bay leaf). I leave in the cinnamon stick, my kids like to fight over it, and I like to watch.
• Serve hot, garnished with the chopped coriander sprinkled on top.
